Replace Glow Plugs B7500

[Captain13]

A bad fuel cut off solenoid will cause the engine not to start or be hard to start. Before I had a complete failure of the solenoid when the engine would not shut down, I would have to throttle up to about half throttle before the solenoid would click and allow fuel to flow. Finally it failed and then I had to manually work the solenoid to kill the engine. Ohm out the glow plugs before you replace them. if they are ok, your problem is somewhere else. I believe that for Kubota, more than 1.5 ohms need to be replaced. You can test them without removing them.

My B7500 has a mechanical stop rod to shut off the fuel to stop the engine. So no electrical fuel controller to shut off the engine. It also has a mechanical fuel pump so it only creates fuel pressure to the injector pump while the engine is turning (cranking or running).

My B7500 has a "engine stop knob" below the key switch. To stop the engine, you pull the stop knob back and hold it until the engine stops. The engine will not start until this knob is pushed back in. It will crank but not start. Make sure your "engine stop knob" is pushed in.

Fuel has NOTHING to do with not cranking.

"Crank" does NOT mean start. It means the starter motor spins the engine roundy roundy.

Starting happens after that.


Is this an engine that will not START, or is this an engine that will not CRANK?
